Sending Sunshine July Edition

Today's first card (will have the Christmas one later tonight) is for a instagram hop that I participate in each month, Sending Sunshine.

This hop is one that came from the annual suicide awareness hop that we do.

For my card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a panel of water friendly heavystock. I used stamps from Impression Obsession stamps which  has since gone out of business (insert sad face, I miss them). To create the foral background I used a cling stamp and colored the image using water based markers and the spritzed it with water and stamped it on the heavystoc. To finish the card, I added the greeting.

Sending Sunshine - June Edition

Todays card is for the Instagram hop that I participate in monthly, Sending Sunshine Hop. This Hop is a spinoff for the yearly Suicide Awareness Hop. 

We started doing a monthly hop because we all can use a little sunshine right?

This card is going to a friend who is a bright light in this world but doesn't believe it herself so I am sending this card to let her know how much beauty and kindness she brings to this world. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a harbor panel cut to the same size. I used a die set and sentiment by Concord & 9th to finish the card.

This one went to a friend of mine that needed to know how loved she is. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel. I used a stencil to create a backgound around the border of the panel. The floral wreath and coordinating die are by Penny Black. The sentiment is by Dare 2B Artzy.
